Oh WOW! It's a pretty sucky subliminal msg if you ask me.

Yes, the arrow was put there intentionally, it was part of the design specifications fedex gave the artists.

Be warned, once someone points it out to you and you notice it, you will never be able to see the logo again without seeing it.

Here I was hoping you'd found out a way to give subliminal messages to people, like "don't parry, don't parry," or "Don't give us more homework, prof! Don't give us more..." Darn. I could use both right now. (I say while procrastinating my homework...)

I think you of all people could benefit from FedEx's subliminal message. They're telling you you're wrong.

FedEx is. You're called "Point Left", and they're quite clearly pointing right.

I like to go against the current. I had originally planned to be "Touche_Left."

Latenight,
you are right, I saw several fed ex trucks after reading this thread, and the arrow was jumping at me, and I had never noticed it before... just thought I'd share.
